The Razer Arcade Stick Thread!

Microsoft giving spotty support for XBone controllers on PC is the problem. Unlike Sony who were more open with having the DS4 and related peripherals work on PC.

I am surprise they even did that
but it does not matter, Xbox One licenses are tighter on manufactures than the agreements with Xbox 360.

I’m planning on dual modding my razor with a venom ps4 pcb.
The only thing that I am not exactly sure is weather to keep the razor usb or to replace it.
Is trace cutting really needed if I want to keep it, like with the cerberus mod?
Could i just connect the venom pcb usb wires to the razor usb header pins? Not sure how to switch between the pcbs then.

Could you please take another pic showing how you wired the neutrik and dpdt to both pcbs?

I can get another pic later. You do not need to cut any traces if you do not use the Razer USB port. Just Neutrik -> DPDT -> USB Headers

Edit: Sorry misunderstood. Yes you need to cut the traces if you’re planning on using the Razer port.

how come i never seen razer atrox videos showing people taking apart the atrox like i do the madcatz i know its bassically the same. is this one easier to dual mod for ps4 use? i raerly see artwork for this one aswell

True. My DS4 and Hori Kai PS4 both work fine on PC without having to search out any drivers.

It is kind of hard to see, but I put in a neutrik and wired D+/D- to the DPDT and the VCC and GND to the header pins on the atrox and the power/gnd on the FC4. Then one ON port on the DPDT goes to the atrox pins and the other goes to the FC4 pins.

Hey @JMro looks awesome but so hard to do.

I was planning to do the same with my Atrox and FC4, but was thinking of getting rid of the 360 PCB entirely and just wire everything up straight to the FC4 PCB. Would probably be a lot less work because common ground etc.

Question though, did you do anything to the top PCB (home/turbo)? Kinda want to do some research before I jump in and wreck my FC4 pcb!

There’s a single pin header for the home button on the bottom right of the PCB, which I wired to the FC4. You can see a single green wire going to it just above the bottom right screw hole.

I did not wire up anything to do with the turbo buttons.

I noticed that some 1 put in a Myoungshin Fanta in one of these sticks, any details on how it’s done?

Complete top panel replacement

Anyone have a PCB schematic for XO Atrox? I’m looking for the power source (VCC/5V). Installing G.Finger Optical PCB.

I pinged Razer for one, but they declined to offer documentation… and the guy who hooked us up with the 360 schematics no longer works for Razer. Upon casual inspection the 360 and XB1 PCBs appear to be set up identically, though the XB1 version is absent turbo/headset connectors. I would start there and test as needed.

@JMro @Gummo I’m wanting to rewire the Lock/Unlock switch on the Atrox so it can control the FS4’s ps3/ps4 switch. Could you please help me with the pins I need to solder?

Could someone tell me what screw size or pin size is suitable for atrox’s honeycomb? It’s look like m3 screw size, but It’s not fit as well. many thanks!

m3 is fine, but the honeycomb isn’t pre-threaded, so you’ll have to screw it in with a little force the first time.

Finally finished dual modding my atrox with the venom ps4 pcb (mayflash v2).
I took out the whole top panel of the venom and put it in the box together with the pcb.

Also, mostly because of laziness, i kept the Venom cables with their plug connectors.
If i had soldered them directly, there would not be such a big cable clutter in the middle.

Thanks again @JMro for the pics, and @Jakobo who provided the pin layout of the atrox pcb (sadly, it seems that the layout pic has been removed from his dropbox)

I have done this on my atrox and there is a row of pins on the left side of the pcb above the 5 pin connector and turbo panel connector. You can get 5v from the farthest left pin. I’ll try to remember to take a picture next time I open it up so if you cant figure it out let me know.

Thanks I found the VCC on the board and it seems to be working. However, I feel the deadzone is a little larger when inputting ā€œright directionā€ and a little bit smaller when inputting ā€œleft directionā€. Up and Down feels perfectly equal (to me). Have you ever felt or experienced this (assuming you installed the Optical PCB inside your Atrox)??

Appreciated.

P.s. My Atrox is bone stock Xbox One PCB, 2lb. JLF spring, JLF Octagonal Gate and G.F. Optical PCB

Yo!

Asked a few questions here and there during the last few months. Lurked around tech-talk a whole heap and learned a lot. Finally finished modding my Atrox! This is my first time doing something major like this, so any tips would be appreciated!
Mods:
-Dumped the original PCB and replaced it with a Hori Fighting Commander 4 PCB
-Rewired the lock switch to switch between ps3/ps4 on the FC4 PCB
-Neutrik
-Phreakmod Link
-Changed the xbox button to a button i ripped of a ps3 dualshock 3 too :stuck_out_tongue:
-And of course. Best Grill Chie layout

Wiring was a bitch, but I think I’m getting better at soldering. Might also change the balltop to another shade of clear green
